Regular D (drive) shift-timing,feel similar to shifting from the floor, just not as jerky. I have heard the Z auto has been clocked to shift anywhere from .03 to .07 seconds. I have heard the 500 millisecond numbers thrown around as well.
I guess it depends on mode and how the ECU is handling your driver input that day. I personally am consistantly/fairly aggressive so in my car the shifts are fast and fairly precise from paddle and floor shift. DS doesn't do anything for me as far as fun factor. But it comes in handy when you need to reactively downshift or engine brake while in D mode. So even though its the least entertaining as far as shift feel. Its an awesome overall feature.
i agree ive heard the .03-.07 figures as well.
